Excessively imagined roof wing out in excess of 16 feet (5 meters), upheld by nine-level sections. The basic mechanics of this task falsehood uncovered, clear and strong, similar to the general impression of the door's structure. Far less refined than Heian engineering, the promptness of the new, and a nearly fleeting, style exemplified the tasteful unequivocal quality of the age.
